Texas A&M and Northwestern both plan to honor Joe Villavisencio in the Meineke Car Care Bowl, which is set to be played less than a week after his passing. Villavisencio, a 22-year-old offensive lineman for Texas A&M, was killed in a tragic accident an hour north of College Station when he swerved to avoid debris in the road, striking a semi head-on.
The Aggies will wear black and white helmet decals and Danny Baker, a fellow offensive lineman and friend, will wear Villavisencio's number.
A&M OL Danny Baker, who spoke at Joey Villavisencio's funeral, will wear No. 67 in Joey V's honor for the Meineke Bowl.

Additionally, Northwestern will join in the tribute, wearing the same helmet stickers as the Aggies.
A&M interim coach Tim DeRuyter said Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald told him the Wildcats would also wear the 'Joey V' stickers.
